Westbrook Police Chief Bill Baker said that gang [Asian Boyz] is definitely inhis city and has connections to several Massachusetts communities: Lowell,Lawrence and Brockton. Gang members have used safe houses in Westbrook but theircriminal activities have been centered primarily in Portland and Massachusetts,Baker said.

"What there is is people withconnections to the gangs, some of whom act badly in Westbrook and get prosecutedfor crimes."
